In Germany there are massive tax advantages to getting married. That is why a lot of people get married in late December of each year.

Shouldn’t that sort of discrimination be illegal?

I don't think you can call it discrimination if no one is excluded from marrying.

It is a discrimination since not everyone will find somebody to marry. And even if everybody could marry, it still is a discrimination towards not married people.

Marring for the purpose to get tax benefit and oder advantages is a sign of discrimination, because they are marring to get advantages in society.

Society is full of discriminations that people have normalised and so they don't see it as such.
